Author Profile
Virginia Sanders
Though trained to be a high school mathematics teacher, she has always had a passion for drawing, painting, and cartooning. This, together with her abiding love for children and animals, is what triggered the creation of this book.
Her other passion is the protection of wildlife and the environment, and to that end she writes a regular column for the local newspaper having to do with sea turtle conservation and edits and illustrates a piece called "The Marine Scene," emanating from Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium, where she is a long-time volunteer.
Twenty years ago, due to the prodding of her late husband, Dr. Jack Sanders, she added photography to her artistic talents and has many honors, awards and published pictures to her credit.
